Product Description

The DiCAPac WP-610 is an all-weather vinyl case for compact digital cameras (with larger & longer zoom lenses) that lays nearly flat for storage and is totally waterproof up to 16 feet (5 meters) deep! Constructed from thick, high-grade vinyl with a UV-coated polycarbonate lens cover, the DiCAPac is designed to keep your camera clean and moisture-free in almost any environment. The patented "Roll & Velcro" zipper closure system provides two levels of protection to keep your case completely watertight, while the clear panels and flexible material allows you to maintain complete control over all your camera's functions. Best of all, the DiCAPac is extremely lightweight and can be tucked away in a pocket or small bag, making it by far the most convenient option for complete all-weather protection for your digital camera, not to mention the most affordable!

Keep in mind, I purchased it for my Canon SD1000 not for a Casio digital camera. I know you're scared. But to test it out, put a folded paper towel on the inside of it, fill your sink with water and hold it under water for as long as you want. Take it out and TADA! Dry paper towel. Now throw your camera in there and be on your way.

Pros:
It most definitely is waterproof.
Works great in the pool, jacuzzi, and ocean (salt water).
The lens area is very clear so you wont have to worry about blurry pix.
You'll have loads of people asking you where you got it.

Cons:
They didn't make a DSLR sized one yet *hint hint cough cough*
Doesn't "fit" all cameras. But you'll get over it as long as it fits in there.
I'm surprised more people haven't purchased this.

wow, with the previous reviews i feel bad about giving this such a thumbs down rating but here goes:

first the positives: (1) price, (2) it doesn't leak.

but that's about it. here's my gripes: (1) on a canon G10 the camera just slides around inside, (2) the ring holding the lens tube hides the flash so don't expect to get any extra lighting help from your built-in flash, (3)the lens tube is so long that it constantly vignettes the images so you have to zoom way out to prevent it - this also causes the lens to be "slower", (4) you can't turn any of the controls on the top and it's such a pain to zoom, turn camera on/off or even take a picture,(5)even with the camera lens extended it still shifts around inside the pouch.

remember, this review is based on a Canon G10. this product may work a lot better on other cameras.

i wish i hadn't waited so long to use this otherwise i would have returned it right away. my bad, i guess.
